What Happened to the Rest of the Week?

What happened to the first part of the week! It’s gone already! I must have blinked.

I can’t say I’ve been doing anything life altering but just puttering around here. I have been playing with my new mixer, and I love it!

Its a bit messier slower making butter than the food processor but cookies mix up quick!

Yes, I know the 70’s green counters went out in …..well the 70’s but, they’re paid for and there is usually enough stuff on the counters I don’t see them any more!

A few hats were knit orders, I had them ready to go but I felt would be to small so I remade them to be on the safe side.There’s been some other knitting, I have 1 pair of longies completed & drying, (with another on the needles) a pair of shorties also completed and drying.

I’ve been playing with a pattern for a simple headband/ear warmer for Danielle. She’s outside so much with the kids and her ears get cold…but will she wear a hat? No….so I’m trying to come up with some thing she can use.

I’ve also been test knitting for another company & will post it when they say it’s ok. Which, I’m sure will be soon. Actually as soon as I ask!

The basement is slowly getting weeded out. One benefit is I found a comforter for the bed in Isaiah’s old room. It’s new! I vaguely remember purchasing it right before they moved in & never got it out as they had their own things.

Its been interesting sorting through some of the stuff down there. It’s the kids old playroom and has become a storage dump…all the things they wanted to keep but not take with them when they moved out. Slowly but surly it’s being emptied. Honestly, I just don’t want to do all the trips up and down the stairs it would take to do it all at once. Besides, once the playroom is done I need to work on the sewing room & I’m not looking forward to that.

Tomorrow Erika & I are going to the Louisville Home and Garden Show. We are just looking for landscaping ideas for her house. That’s the story any way!

I think Danielle would love an ear warmer. I am on her side - HATE hats! But, my grandma bought me an ear warmer, and I do wear and love that! If you find a good pattern, can you pretty please post it? They are sadly lacking!
